Built for the imaging & photo process stage of PCB manufacturing, the Photoplotter (Film Production) (WET-IM-06) is designed to hold consistent quality across rigid, multilayer, and HDI boards. Because it is configured to order, the final build is agreed with our engineers before any quotation is issued.
Process Position
The Photoplotter (Film Production) operates within the imaging & photo process section of the line. Getting the hand-off to the neighbouring cells right matters more to throughput than the headline rating of any single machine, which is why we size it against your real production sequence.
What It Delivers
- Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
- Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
- High-resolution exposure for fine line and space definition.
- Vacuum draw-down for intimate film-to-panel contact.
- Registration alignment to hold layer-to-layer accuracy.
Common Use Cases
Used to transfer circuit patterns for rigid, flex and HDI boards, including fine-feature and high-density designs.
Configured to Your Line
This is not an off-the-shelf machine. We confirm your panel size, throughput target, and facility services first, then propose a configuration of the Photoplotter (Film Production) that fits. Installation guidance and commissioning support are included so the line reaches stable output quickly.
